Several people entered the house, let A Lu lie on the kang, wiped his sweat, changed his clothes, and heated up their meals.

Wang briefly told them about her trip to the capital while eating. The treatment process was relatively smooth, but A Lu suffered a lot. He fainted from the pain when his bones were broken, and cried in pain when he woke up. Chen Ming and others shed tears when they heard it.

However, his injuries recovered very well, and even the doctors at Qianjin Medical Clinic said that he recovered faster than others. He treated the disease, bought medicine, and brought back more than 20 packets of medicine and more than a dozen ointments, spending a total of 12 taels and 5 cents of silver.

Wang also said that they had lived in Chen Shi's house for more than half a month, and Chen Shi's family helped a lot. They said they didn't want the silver coins they gave.

Because there was so much money left, before leaving, Wang went to the cloth shop to buy a piece of silk for each of the five people in his family to make clothes, and still quietly left the two silver coins at his house.

They also said that Chen Shi's family's life was far from as good as these people said. The small courtyard was very small, and they were frugal. They only stewed some meat every day for A Lu, and the three children in the family could not eat it. Chen Shi repaired the house for the eldest wife and borrowed a few taels of silver, which was only repaid a few months ago. Chen Shi's wife Zhang complained to Hu that she would never go back to Xiangluo Village again...

Chen Shi was very proud, and he always told Mrs. Chen and Chen Ye brothers about good news and not bad news. After making money, he was willing to honor his mother and two brothers, and often brought money and things home. After being ripped off by Hu, he didn't care about his face anymore and let Zhang tell the truth. They were doing a small business in the capital city, working hard from dawn to dusk every day, and they earned less than ten taels of silver a month. Life in the capital city was expensive, and they had to support their two sons to study...

Several people sighed when they heard it.

After a while of talking, Chen Dabao reported that Qiqi and his mother had made a lot of money and had established a relationship with the Xile Restaurant, which made Wang and Alu very happy.

Alu looked at her sister with more admiration and said, "Look at the business of Uncle San's family. It's not easy to do and make money. How come my sister is so capable and made so much money easily?"

Chen Afu laughed a few times and said, "You have to be good at thinking when doing things, and do things that others haven't thought of, so that you can make more money."

Chen Ming taught Alu and Dabao, "Did you hear it? Afu's words are good advice. No matter what you do, including studying, you have to be good at thinking."

Alu and Dabao nodded.

After Wang and Alu rested for a while, they asked Dabao to go to the big room to invite Old Lady Chen, and by the way, invite Chen Ye to come for dinner.

Not long after, Old Lady Chen came running.

The old lady hugged Chen Alu and cried again.

Wang gave her a pound of candy that she bought for the old lady in the capital, and also gave her the snacks that Chen Shi bought for the old lady.

Then the old lady asked about their expenses this time, and Wang honestly said twelve taels of silver.

The old lady was surprised, "How do you have so much money?"

Chen Ming whispered, "I made some money by selling needlework baskets, and Afu made some more money by making needlework bags."

The old lady looked at Chen Afu with more satisfaction and said, "Afu is really capable. You must remember how your father raised you, and you must be filial to him all your life."

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma, I always remember it. Not only must you be filial to my father, but also to you."

The old lady was even happier, and she warned, "Don't say that you made so much money by making needlework bags, and don't say how much money A Lu spent on medical treatment. Hu Shi, that woman, is short-sighted."

Wang also told the actual situation of Chen Shi's family, and the old lady wiped away tears after hearing it.

The old lady also complained to Chen Shi, "That silly child, his life is not easy, why did he build such a big yard for us."

Wang Shi endured it and did not dare to tell Hu Shi that she was crying for the house.

As she was talking, Chen Ye and Hu Shi, Chen Dahu, and Chen Daya came.

Before Hu Shi entered the house, she shouted, "Oh, how much money did you make? It's not a festival, but you still hang such a big piece of meat under the eaves?" Entering the kitchen, she saw the remaining half pot of pig's trotter soup and two small bowls of leftovers on the table, and shouted again, "Oh, you still cooked so much meat, where did you get the money?"

Chen Afu explained, "We didn't buy this meat. Young Master Yang came to play at home this morning, and they brought it."

Chen Ming also said that Young Master Yang was the young master of Xile Restaurant and played well with Chen Dabao. Then, regardless of Hu Shi's curiosity, he directly told Chen Ye about A Lu's treatment.

After the meal, when they left, Wang brought them the candies she had bought for the eldest wife and the snacks Chen Shi had bought.

Hu looked at the snacks with an incredible look on her face and asked, "Wouldn't Third Uncle only give us this bag of snacks?"

Wang's face turned red with anger, and she said loudly, "If the eldest sister-in-law doesn't believe it, wait for Third Uncle to come back and ask him. I'm not so shallow as to embezzle the things others bring to you."

Chen Ye hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry, Third sister-in-law, Agui Niang didn't mean that." He scolded Hu again, "What's wrong with you? Do you know how to speak? You are getting more and more confused. Didn't Third sister-in-law just say that my Third brother's family is not having a good time either?"

Hu muttered, "No matter how bad it is, it's much better than our country."

Old Mrs. Chen didn't give her face and scolded, "Only you, your sister-in-law, can ask for things from your younger brother-in-law every day. San'er only brought me a bag of snacks. Does he respect you more than me?"

Chen Ye blushed and glared at Hu again.

Hu Shifang said nothing, but looking at her face, she still didn't believe that Chen Shi only brought her a pack of snacks.

Wang was so angry that she panicked.

From the next day, Chen Afu prepared a nutritious meal for Alu. He must drink milk in the morning, bone soup at noon and evening, alternate between lean meat and pork liver, and let him bask in the sun more.

Every day when Mrs. Wang goes to buy meat, and when people envy her family's easy life, Mrs. Wang will say, "I don't buy much, so I can replenish Alu's health."

In her spare time, Chen Afu asked Wang to teach her how to make clothes and pants. When she watched Mr. Wang cutting his trousers, she said it didn't look good and was uncomfortable to wear. She suggested how Wang would cut it, but Wang didn't dare to do it yet.

Chen Afu used the fabric he bought for Dabao to practice. What Wang didn't expect was that the pants not only fit well, but also looked good on them. It's a good fit, but relatively speaking, it's still relatively wide, but it's not as straight up and down as before, and the waistband and crotch are smaller and shallower.

After Chen Fu finished it, he made it for Chen Ming. After putting it on, Chen Ming said, "It's much more comfortable to wear than the original pants."

Mrs. Wang was so happy that she cut the rest of her trousers like this.

At noon on the 26th, Xiao Shitou ran over. He said, "Aunt Fu, your furniture is ready. My father and uncle will deliver it right away." Then he ran to the west end of the village to find a walking bird and pick it up. Chen Dabao of Chaihuo went to play.

Chen Afu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly went to the new courtyard with Mrs. Wang to open the door. Chen Ming and Alu, who was on crutches, also came over to take a look.

Thank you Feng Liu'er for the sachet, and thank Xiao Huan'er, Jane and Rose for their purses.
